Met Eric Estrada at a baby seat inspection program today

General Chat

Q:

I had to have a new baby seat inspected and installed today at a police sponsered program in my Maxima. Low and behold who comes up to me and says: Thank you for coming and supporting the program today. Ponch slapped me on the back and I asked a couple of the officers, if I could file assault charges against him. lol :o) A lady who was parked next to me was screaming and calling friends, I was lmao. Come on, Ponch can't still have pull like he did in the 80's can he?.
Now times must be pretty tuff for old Frank Poncherello these days, if he was at a baby seat program in Phoenix. The last time I saw him do anything on t.v. was The Suriel life and later I saw he was selling land for like $20.00 bucks an acre in Idaho, Damn Ponch times have changed. He did roll up in a Sweet Ass convertable BMW though, so he must still have a couple of bucks

is this the bottom of the barrel or what?
you get a gig doing a cop show on prime time TV. tight polyester pants and black driving gloves and loads of tude. try to do the big screen action hero role with Morgan Fairchild, in the absolute worst Rocky wanabe movie ever made. you are no Sylvester Stallone.
its always easy to tell when a celebrity's career is in the crapper. they somehow find God and start appearing on that church channel that shows TV evangelist 24-7. man talk about hell.
when the TV evangelists are done pimping you around, they cast you out. bills have to be paid and so, you go to the other end of the spectrum of TV hustlers...the psychic network. they are the last of the line, the bottom of the barrel. but because you have had so much practice lying for the TV evangelist's audience, you do it. you lie about Kenny Kingston and Miss Cleo. once these charlatans are done with you, its over. you are no longer a celebrity.
"But I slept with Cher...doesnt that count for anything?
ummm, no.

even the bottom of the barrel celebrity has a much easier job than most of us. god forbid someone offer me a paycheck to talk for 10 minutes about why you should buy land. i'd take that anyday over my 60 hour a week stressful job.

From what I understand he had a VERY successful career in a Spanish-language soap opera after CHiPS, so I hardly think he's hurting for cash. He probably gets offered insane amounts of money to do promotional work because he is still a HIGHLY recognized figure in Hispanic communities.

"After the demise of CHiPs Estrada's acting career went into decline..."
Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
"Estrada has been married three times. He is currently married to Nanette Mirkovich, and they have a daughter named Francesca. He also has two sons from one of his previous marriages, Anthony Erik and Brandon Michael-Paul." Wikipedia
Like Y0RGO say too much alimonies, child support...maybe otheres legality issues.
)but officer she looked 18...(

KALIFORNIA PINES...
"Ken Dabrow is one of the most interesting infomercial hosts of all time. But the producers of this infomercial must have concluded that someone who looks like the proprietor of a Gold Rush whorehouse might not be the best person to sell lots of land. So in the next version of the California Pines infomercial Ken is gone and replaced with...Erik Estrada. Yes, the actor who played "Ponch" on CHiPs."
The "small print" in this infomercial raises more questions. As Ken and the residents extol the glories of undeveloped land, onscreen words warn, "Some lots require well and septic." Having to urinate behind a tree and dig a hole to crap in might make California Pines less then "heaven-on-earth.
